West Qurna 1, discovered in 1973, is a large onshore oil field located in southern Iraq, approximately 50 km northwest of Basra. Operated by PetroChina, the field is considered one of the world’s largest Oil & Gas assets, with estimated recoverable reserves of more than 20 billion barrels. The project involves the development and production of crude oil through wells, treatment facilities and gathering infrastructure, with the objective of sustaining and increasing Iraq’s oil production while enhancing the value of the country’s energy resources.

The Whiptail Development Project is an offshore project located in the Stabroek Block, approximately 200 km off the coast of Guyana. The project involves the development of oil resources through up to 10 drill centers, 48 production and injection wells, subsea infrastructure and the new FPSO Jaguar. With an expected production capacity of approximately 250,000 barrels of oil per day, Whiptail aims to increase Guyana’s offshore oil production.
